Cross training by trail running and rock climbing turned into an addiction in 2001, He now has several ultra distance runs under his belt but he prefers the shorter faster races. Rock climbing was used as rehabilitation for his broken shoulders suffered in two unrelated bike crashes. Rock climbing changed his entire outlook on strength and core training. Carl says the adrenaline rush of bouldering has yet to be matched, But equates this sport to a mix of ballet and chess. The sport of Triathlon came into play in 2005 where the linking of 3 sports has become an incredible challenge. Carl focuses on sprint, Olympic and Xterra events. In the 2006 season he produced 5 top 4 finishes out of the 6 races he has entered.
